Please note that this site doesn't provide toilets or showers and so guests must bring their own facilities.

Set close to the small market town of Kirkbymoorside, known locally as the Gateway to the Moors, this attractive site is within parkland and based along the edge of the North York Moors. Ideally placed for pubs, cafes and more - you can catch the Moors bus and access the whole of North Yorkshire, taking in York and the county's heritage coastline. Handy for Pickering and the steam railway. Within 20 minutes of Castle Howard and Flamingo Land!

A small and welcoming site, based along the edge of the North York Moors

A note from the site themselves...

I am happy to be able to offer an affordable base for everyone to discover and access our beautiful part of North Yorkshire.

I enjoy being able to pass on tips about walks and places to visit in our local area, if there is anything you want to ask when you are here - that is if you haven't already got a full itinerary in mind for your holiday.

Hopefully, the pack provided on each pitch will be helpful for this, as I have tried to include useful information for the questions that I would want to ask if I were visiting a new area. I welcome any suggestions for any other topics that you feel may be useful to include to help you enjoy your stay here, Jayne

Great location for walking. A short walk to the village Kirkbymoorside, nice pubs and shops and close to Pickering. Well organised site, recycling encouraged. No toilets or showers, but fine in a motorhome. Nice owner. Would recommend.
